@eceforge @technology I never understood why we don’t just call it “lying”. I mean, I understand why AI companies don’t call it that, but that’s what it is and I don’t think we’re helping ourselves by using a euphemism

@GaMEChld @selfhosted I kinda got this running and I’m here to tell you - unless you’re willing to babysit it through the constant changes and updates and dependency hell that creates, you might be better off just paying for api use at something like https://fal.ai/


@yabbadabaddon @technology Unfortunately this is no longer the case. While China 10-20 years ago definitely bootstrapped itself with corporate espionage and reverse engineering, so did every country including the United States. The China of today produces its own fundamental research at a rate comparable to the US, and given the structural failures of our educational system, will exceed the US over the next 5 years.
Not recognizing that and making excuses is the sign of a country in decline.
@rwrwefwef @world I don’t think it was criminal. Pretty sure the Nazis passed laws that made the Holocaust legal in Nazi Germany.
